little Sitges on the sea

From Barcelona, we took a short train ride to the quaint beach town, Sitges. Known for art and culture, perched on the Mediterranean Sea, is home to historical sites and nightlife.

Iglesia de San Bartolomé y Santa Tecla

The baroque temple on the edge of the sea in the middle of town dates back to the 17th century.

We stayed a the SABĂ€TIC hotel and it was so lovely.
It was a little ways off the beach, but still had a view and a fun pool.

Sitges translates to “underground silos” in Catalan.

The Maricel Museum, originally built to house some rich dude’s private art collection, is now one of the main tourist destinations in town. The beautiful building, right on the water, is pictured below.
